Preview: West Ham United vs. Reading

West Ham United host Reading on the final day of the Premier League season.

Relegated Reading travel to West Ham United in a game that could well see the Londoners finish in the top half of the Premier League.

West Ham have finished the season well and although they have just one point from their last three games, they have lost just two of their last eight.

Reading will be looking to add more pride to end the season to go with their thumping victory in their last visit to London when they beat Fulham 4-2.

Only the long-term absence of George McCartney and the doubt around the fitness of James Tomkins are stopping Sam Allardyce from having a full-strength side available.

Nigel Adkins will have to make do without Jimmy Kebe and Jason Roberts, but there are no fresh concerns ahead of the game.
